When your running in reverse you need to be extra careful of the bowl coming loose since the threads are trying to unscrew instead of tighten
Yes, indeed. Also tighten the set screw. Which I did, but the catch was a bit of a monster on this one 🤣
Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing
Thanks Allen, I appreciate it very much. I still have a few big Banksia pods, I think I'm going to need to get creative 🤔🙂
I think you need to listen for the sound of a chain saw and pick up some free wood for your turning projects. I have never bought wood but mostly turned green wood and stored the rough bowls for a couple of years to dry out. I can understand the need to buy if it is special but having a number of dried bowls ready to turn, finish and give as gifts has always been handy. BTW I am in Canada. Nice bowl you made too. Ash really is nice wood to turn. I never like turning reverse on a screwed on chuck without a set screw tightened onto the spindle for safety.
Hi, thank you for the comments 👍 Yes indeed, I have a fairly tuned ear to the noise off a chainsaw, I even own one. I live in a fairly urban town, so when storms hit, you'll find me out there in my mario cart of a car! I have a wee stick of 1st turned bowls, but storage is at a premium in my 8x6 foot shed 🙄
Yes, I always use the securing set screw when in reverse ... But recently the set screw gave out when I had a catch and partially damaged the thread on the headstock... Not doing that anymore! It's ok this time, I have a m33 tap and die, which cleaned up the mess . I was lucky this time around.
Thanks for the kind comment about this bowl, much appreciated 👍
Nice
Thank you 😊
Why use it for food, you can get a perfectly suitable ceramic bowl from anywhere, that won't spoil...it won't be a beautiful thing for long...
Thanks for the question... I am making these for the Viking battle of Lewes weekend. So, keeping it period was key, in as much reenactors won't want a ceramic bowl or a plastic one for that matter. I do believe, and this is my opinion, wooden bowls will last a lifetime, all they need is a scrub and some mineral oil every now and again. Give it a go and let me know if you like it ... It's not for everyone and I appreciate that 😉 👍
